OUR INTERESTING TRIP TO GIBRALTAR

On the 25th March 2015, the groups of 2nd, 3rd and 4th year of ESO from IES Mirador del Genil went on a school trip to Gibraltar by bus, which is a British Overseas Territory with many interesting places.

We began our adventure when we got to the customs, where we had to show our passports or ID cards so we could enter British Territory. When we got through, we all made our way to the minibuses parking lot.

When the minibuses got there we split into two groups to get in to the main parts of Gibraltar; we had to cross the airport runway, and then we started the tour around Gibraltar.

The bus drivers explained with detail the most important monuments and the history behind them.

When we got to the Europa Point we stopped and took plenty of photos; then we slowly made our way back to the minibuses and went up to one of the highest points in Gibraltar, where St. Michael’s Cave is. There we found the monkeys, the best thing we saw in Gibraltar; they were amazing and we can’t forget how cute they are. They showed a lot of intelligence, since they can steal your food without you niticing, and they were hilarious too.

After that, we made our way back down and the bus took us to Grand Casemates Square, where all the main shops and restaurants are. We were there from about 2pm to 4:30 pm. Luckily, some of the shops accepted euros!

Finally, we arrived at Iznájar at 8:45 pm more or less.

Everybody loved this wonderful trip; all of us would love to go again soon. Here are some of the student’s opinions:

-“The trip to Gibraltar was amazing!”- Jorge Valverde Rabasco.

-“This was a new experience in my life, I want to go again!”- Tamara Casado Arjona.
